Low oil and natural gas prices continue to adversely impact the Company's financial results and have resulted in a significant impairment of the Company's producing properties being recorded this quarter. Comstock reported a net loss of $545.0 million, or $11.81 per share, for the third quarter of 2015 as compared to a net loss of $1.9 million, or 4¢ per share, for the third quarter of 2014. The third quarter 2015 results include a charge to impair certain producing oil and gas properties and unevaluated leases of $549.8

million, recognition of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets primarily resulting from the large impairment provision of $189.4 million, an unrealized gain from derivative financial instruments of $0.7 million and a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $51.1 million. Financial results for the third quarter of 2014 included an unrealized gain from derivative financial instruments of $12.4 million and exploratory dry hole costs of $11.4 million. Excluding these items from each quarter's results, the net loss for the third quarter of 2015 would have been $48.9 million, or $1.06 per share, as compared to a net loss of $2.2 million, or 5¢ per share, in the third quarter of 2014.

On July 22, 2015, Comstock closed the previously announced sale of its Burleson County, Texas properties and received net proceeds of $103 million. A portion of the proceeds were used to retire debt through purchases of the Company's notes on the open market. As of September 30, 2015, Comstock had repurchased $100.9 million of face value of bonds at a purchase price of $37.8 million.

Comstock produced 13.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas and 635,000 barrels of oil, or 17.3 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent ("Bcfe"), in the third quarter of 2015. Natural gas production in the third quarter of 2015 grew by 40% from 9.6 billion cubic feet in the third quarter of 2014 and by 22% from 11.1 billion cubic feet in the second quarter of 2015 due primarily to the resumption of the Haynesville shale drilling program in early 2015. Haynesville gas production has increased by 119% compared to the first quarter of 2015. Oil production in the third quarter of 2015 averaged 6,903

barrels of oil per day compared to 12,228 barrels per day in the third quarter of 2014. The decrease in oil production is due to the sale of the Company's Burleson County, Texas properties and the absence of drilling in the South Texas Eagle Ford.

Oil and natural gas prices have declined substantially in 2015. Comstock's average realized natural gas price, including realized hedging gains, decreased 34% to $2.53 per Mcf in the third quarter of 2015 as compared to $3.85 per Mcf realized in the third quarter of 2014. The Company's average realized oil price declined by 54% to $43.63

per barrel in the third quarter of 2015 as compared to $95.59 per barrel, including realized hedging gains or losses, in the third quarter of 2014. As a result of lower realized prices, oil and gas sales (including realized losses from hedging) declined by 57% to $61.8 million as compared to 2014's third quarter sales of $144.6 million. Operating cash flow (before changes in working capital accounts) of $4.5

million for the third quarter of 2015 also declined from operating cash flow of $100.5 million for the third quarter of 2014. EBITDAX, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, exploration expense and other noncash expenses, was $36.0

million in the third quarter of 2015 as compared to EBITDAX of $114.4 million in the third quarter of 2014.

Comstock reported a net loss of $758.6

million, or $16.45 per share, for the first nine months of 2015 as compared to net income of $1.2 million, or 2¢ per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2014. The 2015 results include a loss on sale of oil and gas properties of $111.8 million, impairments on oil and gas properties and unevaluated leases of $615.7 million, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets of $189.4 million, drilling rig termination fees of $1.7 million, an unrealized gain from derivative financial instruments of $1.3 million and a net gain on...
